The PHI/Spotlight Webinars are run by the Local Knowledge and Intelligence Service in the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities. These events give you the opportunity to hear about public health intelligence tools and resources from the teams who work on them.
This webinar is hosted by the Mental Health Intelligence Team (MHIT), who will be presenting their new report on the estimated prevalence of severe mental illness (SMI) in England, and the publication of four new indicators in the Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing Profile which provide new data on SMI prevalence by condition breakdown.
The purpose of the SMI prevalence report is to:
- present modelled estimates for SMI and condition groups (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychosis) for England
- present analysis of modelled estimates for SMI and the condition groups by administrative geographies in England
- describe how the SMI and condition group prevalence estimates were derived, detailing the factors (sex, age, ethnicity and deprivation) that were included to model local area estimates
- provide guidance on how to use these estimates to understand need in the population, particularly at a local level
There will also be the opportunity for discussion and Q&A in the session.
